Love Breathing ( (こい) () (きゅう) Koi no kokyū?) is a Breathing Style derived from Flame Breathing.

Overview[]

Love Breathing is a Breathing Style that is based on the emotion of love, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques inculcate a gymnastic and movement-oriented rhythm into the user's attacks, making use of their superhuman flexibility, dexterity, and agility to perform wide, winding and weaving slashes that have mid-to-long range applications. Users of Love Breathing also visualize themselves seemingly creating pink and green sparks as well as pink lines that follow the direction of their attacks.

This Breathing Style is the personal creation of Mitsuri Kanroji, made by altering the Flame Breathing she learned from Kyojuro Rengoku to suit her special composition and physiology. It takes advantage of her body's unique muscle density, which grants her inhuman strength without making her physically bulky, to deliver fast and powerful blows while moving with incredible flexibility and agility. As it relies on her body's special composition, it is a style only she can use. It can also be assumed that this Breathing Style is most effective with a whip-like katana, however, a regular one can also be used as shown in the Gaiden.
